Next Gen Pokemon Game May Be Announced Soon

It's only been a year since Pokemon Black and White released, but already there are rumblings of the next two versions of Pokemon in the works for 3DS.

Recently, at a recent Japanese Q&A event, Pokemon Black and White director Junichi Masuda said to keep an eye on "Pokemon Smash," a weekly TV program in Japan, as well as following him on Twitter for updates when a fan asked about when the next main installments in the series would be released.

Sounds like they're getting close to announcing something of the sort, otherwise Masuda probably wouldn't have been so specific in his response. Then again, maybe he's just trying to drum up viewership for the TV show and followers for his Twitter account? Who knows.

While it does seem fairly soon for another set of games in the main series, Nintendo would benefit greatly from the presence of new Pokemon games on the 3DS to help further cement its current momentum.
